SUMMARY:Chopteeth Afrofunk Big Band
DESCRIPTION:Chopteeth is a 12-piece Afrofunk orchestra exploring the c
 ommon groove between the funkiest, most hip-shakin’ West African and
  American popular music on the planet. The core of the Chopteeth sound
  is Afrobeat: a big-band funk invented by Fela Kuti in 1970’s Nigeri
 a. Afrobeat is a spicy stew of modern jazz, Yoruba tribal music and bu
 rning, James Brown-inspired rhythms. Chopteeth's sets feature original
  compositions along with updates of African dance classics, all while 
 remaining true to the spirit of the music and its message. Band member
 s step to the mic to serve up lyrics in a total of seven different lan
 guages. Since 2007, the Washington Area Music Association has selected
  Chopteeth for a total of ten Wammie Awards, including Artist of the Y
 ear, Debut CD of the Year, World Music CD (twice) and World Music Grou
 p (five times).\n\nFor more information visit https://washingtondcjazz
